"How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it."

Re: The Official "Ban Steve Aoki from the Sahara tent" Petition

To be fair, you can't blame an artist for people being crushed at a show unless the artist did something to incite it but since this happened in a narrow hallway and not on the dance floor I don't think that's the case.

Plus it said in this article police are still trying to determine what caused it, they are reviewing security footage. Maybe overbooking by the promoter, someone set off a flare/firecracker in the crowd, maybe there wasn't enough security, etc. Plus a 4th victim died. Very sad.

It must be nice to have millions in the bank from daddy to start your own label and buy the top of the line equipment and friends so you can eventually usurp the system and become a mega star dj. A visionary this guy.

Steve Aoki Removed From Stage After Performing Sex on CD Player
Posted on Jun 19 2013 - 10:52pm by pridenation

Miami born EDM producer Steve Aoki was last night escorted from the stage during a performance of the Together Tour in Torino, Italy. The performer was seen to become extremely flustered on stage before mounting his mixing desk and dry humping one of his unplugged Pioneer CDJ stage props before being dragged from the stage by security staff.

Rumours emerging from Aoki’s camp suggest that the ‘DJ’ has been feeling drained after a sustained period on the road and has recently been taking ecstasy to give him the energy needed to repeatedly press the play button during his marathon one hour shows. It is believed that in a pill mix up, Aoki, swallowed 2 Viagra believing they were ecstasy tablets, causing him to go into a trance like state of sexual deviancy.

The Torino venue’s head of waste management and legitimate businessman, Pauli Casterimano said, ‘It was a disgrace, the crowd was full of children, including my 14 year old daughter. I mean, this is an EDM event not some debauched free for all.’

‘He looked directly at me and there was no life in his eyes, he was like a some kind of vampire only instead of lusting for blood he was looking for somewhere to put his little cannoli. I’ll make sure he never plays this town again, capiche!”

UPDATE: Aoki Makes Public Apology For CDJ Incident, Admits To Being A Sex Addict And Narrowly Avoids Jail Sentence.

Steve Aoki has today issued a public apology in response to last Wednesday’s events at his Together Tour in Torino, Italy. Aoki was physically removed from stage during his show by event security staff, after he was seen to perform a sexual act on his equipment.

‘I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my fans, you are what is important here and without you I’d make absolutely no money!’

‘While I know what I did was wrong and I apologise profusely for it, I hope you will all understand that it was my love for EDM, that caused me to have these feelings and to sodomise my CDJs.’

A teary eyed Aoki continued, ‘I have been silently suffering with sex addiction for some time now, tours are long and lonely places and sometimes there is nothing else to share your bed, apart from electronic equipment. In my darkest hour, I’ve even slept with Deadmau5′s mouse helmet.’

Aoki narrowly managed to avoid jail time after Italian officials decided public service would be a more reasonable punishment for the DJ. The EDM star suggested performing for preschool groups as his public service. Although in the end, the judge decided it would be better for Aoki to do something he knew and sent him to make cheese in a local dairy plant.
